Xu Chaomu glanced at the door behind Lin Ruanruan without showing any emotion. She was actually seeing Dr. Sun, the doctor who was the hardest to book an appointment with in the entire southern province, for a mere case of academic anxiety?
"Oh, students are indeed under a lot of pressure these days," Xu Chaomu said with a smile. "Did Miss Lin come alone?"
Lin Ruanruan nodded. She wanted to leave now, but it seemed a little awkward to just walk away.
Xu Chaomu seemed oblivious to Lin Ruanruan's discomfort. He continued to stand enthusiastically beside her, saying, "If only my little brother Chaosheng were half as well-behaved as his sister."
"I heard that Chaosheng isn't very well-behaved at school. Can I find out more about him from my sister?"
Xu Chaomu subtly closed the social distance between the two.
"Huh?" Lin Ruanruan was taken aback for a moment, then smiled shyly, "I'm usually only with people in my own class, so I'm not familiar with Xu Chaosheng..."
Help! This person is Xu Chaomu! She's scared, what should she do?
Don't try to understand her; she has social anxiety and wants to leave.
"Your sister is lying." Xu Chaomu's tone was light, but it put invisible pressure on Lin Ruanruan, who couldn't help but take a small step back.
Xu Chaomu placed his hand on Lin Ruanruan's shoulder, stopping her from retreating. Lin Ruanruan was like a little white rabbit caught in the jaws of a gray wolf, too afraid to move.
Xu Chaomu lowered her head slightly to look at Lin Ruanruan's profile. "I know my brother has been going to my sister's class a lot lately. It seems like he's pursuing your friend?"
Lin Ruanruan clenched her fists. She didn't know why, but she was incredibly nervous and didn't dare to move.
Xu Chaomu released his hand from Lin Ruanruan's shoulder, a dark glint flashing in his eyes where Lin Ruanruan couldn't see. He smiled and said, "I'm not going to eat my sister, I'm just trying to find out about my brother's situation."
He extended his hand to Lin Ruanruan, "Don't be nervous, little sister. I'll buy you a drink, and I'd like to ask you to tell me the details."
Lin Ruanruan lowered her head slightly, "Mr. Xu, I have things to do at home, so I won't drink."
Xu Chaomu raised his eyebrows slightly, wanting to take Lin Ruanruan's hand directly, but she avoided him.
Xu Chaomu showed no anger at all. He moved closer to Lin Ruanruan, leaving her no way to avoid him.
He looked a little hurt. "Why are you being so formal, little sister? It's too formal of you to call me 'President Xu.' I've always wanted a little sister like you."
In the end, Xu Chaomu still took Lin Ruanruan's hand, "I don't think I'm bad-looking, so why does my little sister seem so afraid of me?"
Lin Ruanruan frowned as she looked at Xu Chaomu holding her hand. She tried to pull away, but Xu Chaomu, despite her loose grip, couldn't break free at all, and she was being led away by him.
Fang Sige also treated her like a younger sister, but he never forced her to hold his hand.
"I'm rather introverted, Mr. Xu."
Xu Chaomu couldn't help but laugh. "Little sister, you're so cute. Just call me Brother Chaomu. Don't call me President Xu; it's too formal."
Lin Ruanruan curled her lip behind Xu Chaomu's back; this guy really acted like a good person.
"Xu, Brother Chaomu, I really have something to do at home."
Xu Chaomu was amused by the soft "Brother Chaomu," and he narrowed his eyes slightly. "Going back to edit the video? Or streaming the game?"
Lin Ruanruan widened her eyes slightly, looking at Xu Chaomu with some surprise.
Xu Chaomu had already led Lin Ruanruan to the elevator. The two entered the elevator, and he turned to look at Lin Ruanruan beside him, "You seem quite surprised that I know you're an internet celebrity?"
"This is so heartbreaking, I'm your number one fan."
Ever since that fleeting glimpse at the Huo family banquet, he went back and investigated Lin Ruanruan. He knew more about her surroundings than Lin Ruanruan herself did.
Lin Ruanruan opened her mouth, and after a long struggle, she finally found her voice, "It was all just for fun."
Cold sweat broke out on her back. She couldn't believe it, she couldn't believe a single word Xu Chaomu said.
As the elevator descended, Xu Chaomu looked at Lin Ruanruan's reflection above, licked her upper lip, and said gently, "How could that be? My sister's videos are all very well made; I've watched them all."
Lin Ruanruan's discomfort intensified. She looked at the tips of her shoes, reluctant to speak, but she still mustered the courage to ask her question, "Why is Brother Chaomu here?"
The original text never mentions that Xu Chaomu has psychological problems, and in reality, the Xu family is not involved in the medical industry, so why is Xu Chaomu here?
Xu Chaomu curled her lips into a smile. "My sister and I are about the same. There's been so much going on at the company lately, plus the mess Xu Yelu left behind, which has made me a bit anxious. I came here today specifically to calm things down."
"Sigh, I really didn't expect that my uncle would do such a thing behind the scenes when he adopted a child so kindly."
Xu Chaomu spoke with heartfelt sincerity.
Lin Ruanruan wanted to roll her eyes, but she didn't dare.
She's just a small fry; she shouldn't anger the big villain.
